Coach Wicky admits: “It was the wrong decision”: Lauper becomes scapegoat at YB

class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

Judgement. Last Saturday. Schützenwiese Winterthur. Sandro Lauper (27), who is actually considered down-to-earth and smart, is thrown off the field after an unfortunate action against Winterthur’s Tobias Schättin. When he makes a tackle, his leg slides up the ball. His open sole therefore ends up on the Winterthurer’s shin. It looks bolder than it was. Yet the referee has no choice but to show red.

Petric says it’s just stupid

It was different in Manchester on Tuesday evening. First Lauper sees a yellow card after 19 minutes for a hard tackle on Jack Grealish. Then, with maximum clumsiness, he caused the penalty to Matheus Nunes on the edge of the penalty area, although the Portuguese was not in a promising position. Haaland says thank you and commutes the penalty.

And Blue expert Didi Hamann says without thinking: “Lauper would actually have already heard of the place.” One can only answer: please consult the regulations, Mr. Hamann. Yellow penalties for innocent fouls are only given for thwarting an obvious scoring opportunity. That certainly wasn’t one.

Actually it was red

Shortly after the break, Lauper had to go down when he hit Nathan Aké so carelessly that yellow was actually the wrong color. So he flies off the field with a yellow-red card and trots away, confused and unresponsive.

Even after the game he doesn’t want to talk. Unusual for him, who usually always stands there. And an expression of disappointment in yourself.

Wicky: “I can’t replace everyone who has yellow”

Coach Raphael Wicky, on the other hand, comments on the yellow-red card. «Sandro knows with all his experience that he has to act differently. At this stage of the game and at this place on the field you don’t have to go in like that at all.” But shouldn’t Lauper and the team have been protected by taking him out during the break?

Petric secondly: “A very clear mistake by the coach.”

Blues expert Mladen Petric says: “It is a very clear mistake by the coach. Everyone sees that. You don’t have to be an expert. Wicky should have just replaced Lauper.” Shortly afterwards, the Upper Valais resident stated that he had been thinking about this idea during the break: “I thought about making a substitution, I then decided to let the match continue like this for ten minutes and then make a substitution. I can’t make substitutions during the break every time someone has a yellow card.” Then he admits: “Unfortunately it was the wrong decision today.”

Lauper is now missing from the final against Red Star

The damage does not increase after ten hours. Because ManCity no longer takes it seriously, there is no fourth goal. For Lauper, however, November is over. He was suspended for two games for the foul on Schättin and will be missing on Saturday against Lucerne and the following week in the top match against FCZ in Letzi. But especially on November 28 in the final for third place in the Champions League against Red Star Belgrade. And that’s a real problem for YB.
